Tahoe Maggots
Spend the $45 or $50 a year to buy the membership with REMSA or CALSTAR.
If you get seriously hurt and are flown out by anything other than CHP you're looking at a $15,000 bill. Most of the providers in California, Oregon, Nevada, and Idaho are reciprocal partners. So if you're skiing out of Portland, Bend, Seattle, Tahoe, or even Shasta you won't pay a cent out of pocket.
That sux. Hope everything turns out well.
Did they have to cut the boot off? Can't imagine getting a broken ankle out of a ski boot.
++++++++VIBES TO THE 666 FAMILY! Good to hear everything worked out really smoothly and the road to recovery started without a hitch. Much love.
best thoughts going out to one of the coolest, most ripping extreme Mrs. (and Mr.) 666 in da globe.
The Apple State wishing the Mrs. a quick, speedy recovery.
If it was going to happen anywhere, then thats a proud line for sure. Take care of the Mrs. Mr. so she can shred it next year. ++++++++++++vibes++++++++++
Ankle brakes blow ++++++++++++++ sent
+++++vibes+
I feel your pain since I broke a lower leg bone near the ankle
6 weeks ago at Kirkwood in a fast sliding fall. Just a few days
ago the Dr. allowed me to walk lightly on it. Cast may
come off in 3 weeks. :cussing:
+++ vibes +++
Crazy day to hear this. I was racing this evening in the beer league at the local hill and saw my buddy hook a gate and go flying off the trail into a tree. Pretty scary looking crash. It turned out to be just a concussion, but they took him off the hill on a stretcher. and after I drove him home his brother took him to the hospital.
Get well mrs.666
Update:
In recovery now, surgeon said it went "excellent." Also, lph likes what he saw on the new x-rays, so I guess that's a good thing :)
Thanks again for all the support.
Good luck with the healing Halle!!! Sounds like surgery went well - step one done and over with! I know how shitty it is to take a tumble and lose a season. Just know that it WILL get better and you'll come back just as strong. You're a rockstar - that much I know from the little time I've spent with you.
Good luck and heal up!
And C, I'm pretty sure that lots of chocolate and massages will help immensely!
I am really pretty amazed how good the xrays look. He did a tremendous job.Quote:

Heal fast. No idea what the injury is but I had a badly broken ankle (plates, pins, etc) a few years ago that has healed 100% and doesn't bother me at all. Hope your recovery goes as well.
great news, with a good set like that it's probably better off than a bad sprain in the end. Feel better!

Will there be a seanyob kitty-fest TR now that the 666s can get home safe and sound?Quote:

I know that when I hurt myself the other day it made a shitload of difference to my mental outlook to know that I had a friend on the inside helping me out. It was extra cool too since I was skiing with him at the time, crashing on his couch, and starring in his photos. He was literally there every step of the way! :)Quote:

Really sorry to hear it was someone on this msg board, and super healing energy directed in your direction.
Take Care.
Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
Positive vibes to the Six family.
lhs,
666 has pics of every xray and ct scan we took. I am guessing they will end up in a TR of some kind. (BTW, I passed on putting on some scrubs and watching the surgery, 666 probably is disappointed as it would have made for a more complete TR).
LB,
I didn't say 'exactly' those words, but on seperate occasions, both 666 and I spoke to the surgeon and stressed what an active lifestyle H leads.
Snowtigress,
Why the finger??? :(
As for those of you whom I have helped in any little way, you have all repaid my efforts with incredible generosity. It is never necessary but incredibly thoughtful.
OK, group hug, then no more sappiness. Hijack ends now. ;)
H's fracture really scared the shit out of me, but really, Dr. S did a friggin amazing job. Her rehab will be long, but the fact the he thinks she will be back is very very encouraging.
i love you mrs 666. i promise i won't steal mr 666 from you ever again.
This shocks me to hear knowing how, um, excited you got when girlski was lancing her toe down in Las Leñas. Where's that video? Oh, hereQuote:

Here's to some productive PT.
Great news, so glad to hear this.Quote:

Always bummed to hear when someone goes down. Must have sucked to watch happen 666. I sometimes wonder how crap I would feel if Mrs. Comish were to go down.
Good luck Mrs. 666. You are pretty psyched to have had someone like LPH there on the inside. Props to LPH for helping them and I'm sure getting them way better info than would be available otherwise.
PosiVibes to the 666s! :(
Man, I don't log in for a few days, and bad shit happens. I take karmic responsibility.
Good to hear that the worst is behind.
Vibes to the Sixes. Peace out. [throws sign]
That is sooooo totally Harold & Kumar.Quote:
